He unexpectedly becomes a father at the start of his life, and the mother of his child is a national

Lin Caiwei looked up at Chen Hao, her lips moved, and a bunch of worried words were hidden in her heart, but she swallowed them back down.

She knew Chen Hao was right, but she couldn't suppress her anxiety.

"I'll call Grandpa again to ask about the details," she said, reaching for her phone on the coffee table.

"Don't rush." ​​Chen Hao raised his hand and gently pressed her hand to stop her movement. He said slowly, "Let's think about what to say and how to respond first."

Grandpa has a very short temper and is very protective of his own. Once he finds out that I'm being followed by Yu Mobai, he'll definitely be unable to resist going to confront him face to face.

Everything is still unclear. Making a scene now will only escalate the situation further, making it very difficult to control later.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caiwei could only put down her phone, lean back on the sofa, and let out a long sigh, her face full of exhaustion and helplessness.

She remained silent for a long while before softly asking:

"Chen Hao, do you think we're living too cautiously? Hiding things like this all the time is really exhausting."

"It's always better to be careful," Chen Hao explained patiently and calmly.

"You are a public figure, and your every move is watched by the outside world. Sisi is still so young, and she can't withstand media hype and netizens' over-interpretation."

If we can keep a low profile, we can give our children more peace of mind and less trouble.

"But when will this constant, careful hiding ever end?" Lin Caiwei looked up at him, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Your drawing talent is so outstanding, and your works are of such high quality, that everyone will discover it sooner or later. It's impossible for you to hide it forever."

After listening, Chen Hao remained silent for a long time, and the living room fell silent instantly.

He knew in his heart that Lin Caiwei was telling the truth, and that hiding his identity was not a long-term solution.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "We'll wait until the time is right. Now is not the most suitable time."

The house was quiet all noon, and neither of them said anything more, each with their own thoughts on their minds.

In the afternoon, when it was time to pick up Sisi from school, Chen Hao was extra cautious and did not drive his car out again.

After leaving the house, he hailed a taxi and asked the driver to wait patiently at the kindergarten entrance without turning off the engine or leaving the premises.

After picking up Sisi, he immediately got into the car with the child in his arms, and the car turned around and headed back without stopping at all.

Throughout the journey, Chen Hao remained vigilant, constantly observing the road conditions in front and behind and checking his rearview mirror. He repeatedly confirmed that no vehicles were following him, completely eliminating the possibility of being followed, before he was finally at ease.

After returning home, Sisi took off her schoolbag and sat obediently on the living room carpet, building blocks with her little head focused on the colorful blocks, earnestly building her own little castle.

Lin Caiwei sat beside the child, but her eyes were always wandering, clearly still thinking about what happened during the day, and she was restless.

Chen Hao sat alone on the sofa, his gaze fixed on the mother and daughter, while his mind went over the whole story again and again, carefully pondering Yu Mobai as a person.

He and Yu Mobai had never met before, had no personal grudges or conflicts, and their only connection was that the other party was obsessed with Haolin's paintings and desperately wanted to find Haolin himself.

He had only heard about Yu Mobai from Lin Sinian before, and knew that he was the president of the calligraphy and painting association, had a high reputation in the industry, and was extremely passionate about calligraphy and painting, even to the point of being somewhat obsessive.

When his grandfather mentioned him, his tone was full of helplessness, saying that he was too stubborn and inflexible.

Chen Hao never expected that a respected and esteemed senior would resort to stalking and spying on a painter's private life in order to find out his identity.

It's both somewhat laughable and incredibly frustrating.

As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.

Chen Hao gave Sisi a hot bath and then lay in bed telling her two bedtime stories.

The little one had a great time playing at kindergarten all day and was exhausted. Before the story was even finished, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep with even breathing.

Chen Hao gently covered her with the blanket, then quietly left the bedroom and closed the door behind him.

In the living room, Lin Caiwei was sitting quietly on the sofa, holding her phone. The screen was lit up, but she wasn't doing anything with it. She was clearly just staring blankly at the phone, her mind not on it at all.

Seeing Chen Hao come out, she immediately placed her phone gently on the coffee table, patted the empty seat next to her, and said softly, "Come and sit down."

Chen Hao walked over and sat down. Lin Caiwei leaned gently on his shoulder, looking exhausted and uneasy.

After a moment of silence, she spoke softly, with a hint of trepidation: "Chen Hao, tell me seriously, if Yu Mobai really comes knocking on our door, what are you planning to do?"

Chen Hao pondered for a moment, then said in a calm and determined tone, "If he really dares to come to my door, I will have a proper talk with him face to face."

"What are you talking about?" Lin Caiwei looked up at him.

"He talked about why he was so persistent in investigating me, how many clues he had found out, and how much he had uncovered about me."

Then discuss his purpose, and finally determine whether he will keep my identity a secret or expose it to the public.

Chen Hao spoke clearly and logically, without the slightest sign of panic.

Lin Caiwei was still unsure after hearing this: "You dare to talk to him directly? You really believe he won't do anything reckless?"

Chen Hao gently shook his head: "It's not that I believe in his character, but I feel it's necessary to find out what he's really up to."

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you stabilize the situation and take the initiative.

If you keep hiding, he'll only lead you by the nose.

Lin Caiwei remained silent for a long time, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage, before softly asking:

"Chen Hao, have you ever seriously considered what our lives would be like if one day your true identity as Hao Lin were completely revealed and could no longer be hidden?"

Chen Hao had thought about this problem before, but he had always been unwilling to delve into it, not wanting his family to fall into anxiety prematurely.

He didn't answer immediately, and the living room fell silent again.

Seeing his silence, Lin Caiwei continued softly, her tone full of confusion and worry:

"Once it's exposed, the media will definitely dig deep into your past, they'll find out that you're Sisi's father, they'll find out about our relationship, and then the whole internet will be buzzing about it."

I'm a celebrity, I'm not afraid of public opinion, but Sisi is still young, she needs to go to school, and she needs to live a normal life. What will happen to her? What will happen to our family?

Chen Hao gently put his arm around her shoulder, tenderly pulling her into his embrace, his tone firm:

"I won't let that terrible thing happen. I will protect you."
